The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1887-12-08

brocaded stripes made in bouffant,
coquettish way, but the various fancy
geu2es and fiue nets Of the day, coIae in
acceptably, while hand baskets of flow
ers add picturesqueness. Where the
bride is married in travelling dress,
tailor-made costume of cloth is most
fashionable and o few bridal dresses for
informal weddings have been made of
white cloth combined with MORE.
TRIMMINGS.
Steel, copper, bronze, silver or gilt
trimmings have high position and as
principal opponents are seen braids or
passementeries, the former set or cor
sages like vests. The fancy for black
trimmings on colored material is mark
ed, and marked also is the popularity of
trimmings lighter than the goods they
adorn. Galoons, baids or pess9mente-
rles are prominent IN this style and beads
are effective since they throw irridescent
lights, or those of paler shade on darker
fabric. Here. likewise are opportunities
for metal beads, and they glitter as
points of effect or compose the whole
garniture. Beads in general hold their
own; they are loved but hardly with last
winters devotion, but nevertheless there
Is on abandon of affection shown ex-
tremely stylish jabots, caps, etc., made
wholly of beads, which form the entire
trimming for corSoge.
EVENING DRESSES
prove that brocadcs are indispensable.
But the brocades of this winter arc
totally different from those that have
gone before them. Both in color and
pattern there is great novelty, tho form
or showing the new terra Gotta and
mahogany reds, old rose old pink,
cevres, leyNrd, lizard green, etc., the
| latter running to fern and other pointed
leaves, crysanthemumsand long stcmmed
ROSES of strange hue, whilo vines and
woodland offerings akin, replace former
orthodox flowers. Elegant brocadcs
show flowers on mOire surface but al
| most everywhere, this last idea presents
itself. Velvet flowers on silk are also
| very popular and chene re-appears as q
| remembrance of the past. The tendency
column effects is very marked, frequent
ly long stalks unto in continuity, sue
cnssivc bouquets which do not blossom
out roundly but are in pointed shape
and everywhere this inclination to slcn-
dcrnoss is noticeable. Stripes, on the
contrary, are sometimes conspicuously
broad and contrasts extremely marked,
SO that the gaudy is reached and small
women are apparently ignored since no
small woman could wear them. Ia truth
they touch the vulgar, but leading NOR
chants show them and thus indorscd,
they must not be gainsaid. Stripes in
general, however, are of all wCdths.
SNsbcH Of extraordinary beauty, repeat
the patterns of the time. Striped sashes
arc fashionable; mOiro continue SO, but
handsomcst are the lowered and choicest
among the luttcr arc exquisite creations
where slender velvet flowers and pointed
leaves are woven on delicate silk sur
faces. Six dollnrs Il yard seems not too
much. Striped, plAidcd, dotted and
dcIicnt"ly brocaded gaze and lace form n
large and less expensive element, being
used as drnpcrics over satin or silk.
Nccks arc high, heart shaped, square,
square low, round low or pointed back
aud front while tho sleeve can hc
ipuorcd, some shadowy pretonsc taking
it, place; it can reach the. elbow or be
long. Bronze slippers with hosiery to
match are very fashionable and so are
tan, the idea being that both shoe and
stocking, must )rrcspond. Gloves are
long and close fitting in white, dressed
or undrcsscd, in light tan chiefly, but
likewise III pearl or very pale pink.
Heavy stitching.
